Product details
Overview
PI5USB2546JZHEX from Diodes Incorporated is a USB charging port controller and high-side power switch with integrated USB 2.0 high-speed data-line (D+/D–) analog switch, supporting BC1.2 CDP/DCP, YD/T 1591-2009 Shorted Mode, Divider-1A/2A, and DCP-1.2V charging protocols. It features a 73-mΩ (typ.) RDS(on) MOSFET, adjustable current limit up to 2.5 A (typ.), 4.5–5.5 V operating range, and load detection for S4/S5 charging control in notebook and desktop USB ports.
For engineers reviewing the PI5USB2546JZHEX datasheet, PI5USB2546JZHEX pinout, PI5USB2546JZHEX application, or PI5USB2546JZHEX equivalent, key selection criteria include BC1.2 mode compatibility, programmable current-limit thresholds (via ILIM_HI/ILIM_LO resistors), /STATUS-driven port power management, and integrated 2 Ω (typ.) DP/DM switch on-resistance with <0.25 ns propagation delay for USB 2.0 signal integrity.
Technical Context
The PI5USB2546JZHEX implements dual-function logic: a charging-mode state machine that detects and asserts D+/D– voltage signatures per BC1.2, YD/T 1591, and proprietary divider schemes; and a high-bandwidth analog switch path with <6.2 pF on-capacitance and >52 dB off-isolation at 250 MHz. Its power wake and port power management (PPM) functions are triggered via /STATUS pin assertion during load detection events.
Control is managed through three CTL pins and ILIM_SEL, enabling discrete configuration of charging mode, current-limit threshold (low/high), and load-detect sensitivity. The device integrates UVLO (4.1 V typ.), thermal shutdown (170 °C), and overcurrent protection with 5–12 ms deglitch timing, all operating within –40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB charging port controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2546RTER | Single 2.5 A channel, no integrated D+/D– switch; requires external USB signal routing; 1.5 A fixed current limit (non-adjustable) | Lacks hardware-based BC1.2 mode auto-detection; relies on host MCU for mode selection via I²C | Choose when system already uses I²C-controlled power management and external USB signal switches are acceptable |
| IP2721 | Supports USB PD 3.0 + BC1.2, but lacks native YD/T 1591 Shorted Mode; uses QFN-24 package (4 mm × 4 mm) | Requires firmware update for new charging standards; not pin-compatible due to larger footprint and different CTL pin mapping | Prefer for future-proofing with USB-C and PD negotiation, but not drop-in for legacy micro-USB host ports requiring YD/T 1591 compliance |
Compared with TPS2546RTER and IP2721, the PI5USB2546JZHEX delivers fully autonomous BC1.2/YD/T 1591 mode detection, integrated USB 2.0 analog switching, and resistor-programmable current limits - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, firmware-light host ports where micro-USB connector compatibility and regional charging standard coverage are mandatory.

FAQ
What charging standards does the PI5USB2546JZHEX support without external firmware?
The PI5USB2546JZHEX natively supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (CDP and DCP modes), Chinese Telecommunications Standard YD/T 1591-2009 (Shorted Mode), Divider-1A, Divider-2A, and DCP-1.2V modes using only hardware pin configuration (CTL1–CTL3 and ILIM_SEL). No microcontroller or firmware is required to detect or assert these signatures - all mode selection and D+/D– voltage generation are implemented in analog and logic circuitry per the datasheet truth table.
How is load detection used for S4/S5 charging activation?
Load detection is triggered when output current exceeds the rising threshold (e.g., 650 mA with RILIM_LO = 80.6 kΩ), causing the /STATUS pin to assert low. This open-drain signal can directly enable a PMIC-controlled 5 V rail or wake an embedded controller. The 200 ms set time and 3 s reset window ensure reliable response to cable insertion while rejecting transient noise - enabling true "charger-present" detection during S4 (hibernate) and S5 (soft-off) system states without CPU involvement.
Can the PI5USB2546JZHEX be used in USB 3.0 SuperSpeed applications?
Yes - the PI5USB2546JZHEX integrates a high-bandwidth analog switch for USB 2.0 D+/D– lines only, with 2.0 GHz bandwidth, <0.25 ns propagation delay, and <0.2 ns skew, fully preserving USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) signal integrity. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) lanes are routed separately and unaffected; the device is commonly deployed in USB 3.0 Type-A ports where backward-compatible USB 2.0 charging and data functionality must coexist with SS lane routing.
What is the role of the exposed thermal pad on the ZHD package?
The exposed thermal pad on the 16-pin ZHD (UQFN) package is internally connected to GND and serves two critical functions: (1) it provides a low-thermal-resistance path (<25 °C/W typical) from the die to the PCB copper pour, enabling sustained 2.5 A operation without derating at +85 °C ambient; and (2) it acts as a low-inductance ground return for high-frequency switching noise from the 73-mΩ MOSFET, reducing EMI and improving stability of the 0.1 μF IN decoupling capacitor. PCB layout must connect this pad to a solid GND plane using ≥4 thermal vias.
